Response from Arboretum Tree Service
To clarify FACTS… Clients work was performed 05/22/12 not 05/04/13 as stated. ( year difference) Also review was posted 11/10/13. A year and a half after work was performed. Price claimed paid $400, when in fact out of pocket to client was $162.19 including tax plus a $99 coupon = total of $261.19. Work performed – Roof-line clearing, large limb removal, dead wood removal and removal of debris. In clients own words over phone, the work was fine but they were upset because it took so long for us to finally get to them and complete work. Unfortunately for all clients, we where extremely busy due to the volume of coupon demand. Jobs were completed in order of purchase, no matter size. Each client was notified and given instructions for reimbursement if they chose not to wait. Another complaint was they felt agitated by Angie’s List “ Post a review “ emails. “ I have nothing to do with that.” These are the FACTS! No apologies! I stand behind the work completed 100%! Maybe a case of bad timing, but it was a choice. Why the missed truths and reckless abuse? Sincerely, Billy Jordan

Nothing more to add.
Description of Work: No services performed. Decided to go with another company. I have no complaints or compliments about this company. Who I assume is the owner came out as scheduled, did a thorough walk-around of the property, and provided an estimate. We decided on the other company because the quote provided by Arboretum was higher and we had used the other company before for a different property and liked their work.

GREAT. See above
Description of Work: Took advantage of Big deal to have some much-needed tree-trimming done where branches were scraping our roof. Billy came by to do the estimate personally and as we went through the yard to discuss a phased approach to getting my trees and shrubs back in shape after the drought, he was very honest with me about what should be done AND what did NOT need to be done. I had anticipated much more work for him!! He took his time and really studied the landscape, advising me on requirements 2 to 5 years from now. Our discussion also enabled me to address some problem areas immediately since he offered a very reasonable price based on the work he was already doing. In all, he trimmed and removed oaks in front and back, even taking out a hugr dead branch on a neighbor's tree which was hanging in my yard. Everyone was thrilled. He trimmed shrubs, front and back. And removed some huge agave. The three in front had to be pulled out with a pick-up truck. Every leaf and branch was picked up. His crew was polite, professional and fast--and this was all done on a Saturday! These folks definitely get my highest recommendation.

HE showed up on time with his truck and another truck of workers behind him. He took the "lead worker" around the property, pointed to some trees and then left. When the crew got to the back yard, I walked out to see that they had cut down a crucial pool area shade providing branch which had a humming bird feeder attached to it! The bird feeder was lying on the ground! The workers had removed a key shade branch which had a bird feeder attached without asking me! The crew took very long breaks, plus at least a 1 1/2 hour lunch break. I had to go out there myself and get them up off of my side yard and get them back to work. At 5:00 Billy finally showed up to get his check.
Description of Work: Billy said he was a certified aborist visited my home and suggested that for $1,200 he would take care of about 15 trees. I asked him if he would be there. He assured me that his "guys" had been with him for years.

Response from Arboretum Tree Service
In Response, As a small business owner who strives and truly cares about customer satisfaction, I’m deeply upset in the manner and tone you have set with your review on Angie's List. First and foremost that you did not even give me the courtesy of letting me know that there was a problem. As I explained to you over the phone, I Do Not sub-contract and have had the same guys with me for years. I am offended with the language used of Slick, Illegals and Imbeciles. I am a man of my word and take great pride in my clients and my men, as they work very hard in what we do everyday. Its not easy work and breaks are sometimes a necessary evil, as for the health of my men. As I told you we would complete the total scope of the job in a given amount of time, and that's what we did. As I remember, on your job, we even completed a little extra for you at no charge. I also remember discussing all the limb removal around the pool and total scope of the work with you, and thus walking my crew leader and crew threw it, and that is exactly what was completed. Also a final inspection and walk-threw was given by myself with you present. Again, I operate a small business and apologize that I physically can not be on the job site 100% time. But in order to keep my business running and obligations to incoming client appointments, I must be on the move sometimes. Although, I will never just send a crew to a job site, without myself first walking them threw it and making sure that the complete job is understood by all and thus myself, walking the final completed job for inspection. Again, I am very upset that you never once told me or even hinted to me that there was an issue. Yes, maybe we couldn't put a limb back (If That Is The Case), but at least I would have known your feelings about the situation, and therefore given an opportunity to resolve any issue. As I remember you led me to believe you were extremely pleased, even to the point of recommending and signing us up with your homeowners. I am not sure what has changed over three months and why you have decided to go about it in this fashion. I can only hope you are a man of your word and will retract and or correct your statement given on Angie's list. Sincerely, Billy Jordan Arboretum Tree Services, LLC

They did a excellent job of trimming the trees at my home. The priced quoted was very reasonable for the amount of work they performed. They went above & beyond on what was quoted. I would definitely recommend them. Mr. Jordan is very professional & quoted a fair price for the work performed at my home.
Description of Work: They trimmed the trees in the front & back yards. They cleaned the front & back up after they were done. They removed a limb that was over the power lines to my home. They trimmed two bushes in front of my home. They trimmed the trees in front of my home.

I called and left a message stating I would like to have them come to my house to look at what my trees needed, and that I was concerned that then needed to be saved. A big storm came that night. I assume they were busy the next few days. They have not returned my phone call since I called almost a week ago.

In response, It is not often and certainly not how we like conduct business, but San Antonio and the surrounding area was hit by one of the worst wind storms it has seen in the past ten years. Our Apologies to any potential clients who may have fallen through the cracks and were not responded to. Unfortunately with all the damage around San Antonio, Arboretum Tree Service was inundated with desperation phone calls and was unable to handle the sheer volume. Again we apologize and hope for your understanding in this matter. Sincerely, Billy Jordan Arboretum Tree Services, LLC

We had 6 overgrown Japanese Lugustrums.We planted the trees to use as a barrier for a sports court that our back neighbors had installed. The trees had been trimmed slightly and topped off every year. Unfortunately, the more we topped them off, the taller they grew. We were losing the effect they were originally planted for. I contacted several companies, but chose Arboretum. When Billy Jordan arrived to give me an estimate, we discussed several options.The best option was to cut the trees way back. He was honest and told me that it was not going to look great. New growth would force the trees to get thicker instead of taller. It would then give us the cover we needed. I had mixed emotions about doing this. We talked and he as several questions to make sure we both had the same visual effect. I just had to convince my husband this was the way to go. He thought they were trees and they were meant to be tall and overtaking our yard. Billy said talk to my husband and take my time to make a decision.He wanted me to be sure I was ready for the work to be done. After giving it some thought, a date was set to do the work. I received a call from him notifying me he would be late. We had a bad storm the night before and there were quite a large number of trees down. To be honest, I was surprised that he didn't cancel the appointment. Billy said that he did not want to cancel on his committments that day. The crew arrived well prepared and immediately started working. Everyone seemed to know what they were assigned to do. As each tree was cut, there was someone cleaning up. I really expected my yard to be a mess, but it looked better after then before. There were several branches down on the front lawn. I was picking them up and Billy told me the guys would take care of them. I would recommend this company not only for their professionalism, but also their knowledge. Billy was a pleasure to work with.

I called to get an estimate for a tree evaluation and to have a number of trees trimmed. Mr Jordon did not show for the appointment and he did not call. When I called him again days later he did not seem to even recall our conversation. In the meantime there was a storm and he now told me that it would be some time before he could get to me. He did provide me with a name of a person to evaluate my tree. I am not sure if that person is on the list or not.

Couldn't have been a better experience. I contacted Billy Jordan (Arboretum Tree Service) on March 4th to see if he could give me an estimate to trim my trees on my property. Billy went to my house that day and called me that afternoon with an estimate and said he could do the work early the following week. His crew showed up on the given day, March 9th, and did a fantastic job with my trees. Billy also laid mulch in all my beds for me. His price was very competitive, but his professionalism and promt service were unmatched. I plan to contact this company every January for an annual follow up with my trees and mulch.
Description of Work: Trimmed, thinnned and treated approximately 15 to 17 trees (included 5 Crepe Myrtles), cut down two trees (one situated too close to the house and one just in a bad location) and laid mulch in 6 bed areas.

My next door neighbor was getting an estimate from Billy. I knew that we needed some work done so I asked Billy to give me an estimate as well. I discovered he was on Angie's List and would take credit cards (absolutely necessary for such a big job), which made me feel very confident in the company. We scheduled the job within a week of getting the estimate. There were no scheduling problems and the crew showed up promptly on the date selected. The backyard was done on 2/22 and the crew finished up the front and side yards on 2/24. The crew was efficient, careful and cleaned up every bit of tree debris and hauled it away. Billy and his foreman, Andy, were both a joy to work with on this big job. Our property looks terrific, and I would not hesitate to use this company again.
Description of Work: Billy Jordan and his crew did major clean-up, trimming and "topping" of many trees on our property. They also cut back the bushes that may or may not be dead due to the frost. Also, we had two crepe myrtles that needed to be removed because of bad placement, which they did.

I have used other tree services in the past, but none had exhibited the professionalism and competence that I observed in this company. The crew of three men tackled the problem of a large tree which was splitting apart and in danger of falling. They worked in the south Texas heat without letting up until the job was complete, including a very thorough clean-up. They packed the remains of the tree on their trailer and hauled it away. Except for the hole in the sky, no one would know there ever was a tree there.
Description of Work: Due to a prolonged drought in our area, a large, old tree in our back yard was dying and literally falling apart, running the risk of collapsing on to a fence dividing my property from that of my neighbor. I called Billy and he and his crew were on site within three hours, and had the tree fully and safely removed about two and a half hours later.

Billy was vary prompt in responding to my inquiry and came right out to estimate the job. He gave me several options from which to choose and was very flexible about scheduling. The crew came out and worked non-stop to achieve an amazing job in a very short time. I am completely pleased with the results.
